Planting in an aquarium?

12 years ago

I have a 29gal aquarium that has been sitting empty since I moved. It has a full spectrum CF light that caused the underwater plants to need constant pruning and it occurs to me that I could be growing indoor herbs in there instead of letting it just sit. Has anyone tried this?

The dimensions are 30" x 12" x 18". Not sure what to grow but it needs to stay under 18" tall obviously :) Any suggestions?

I should mention that the top is glass so one half of it would be exposed to air, and I have a little clip on fan I was thinking I could attach for air circulation.
